About this Add-on

Aeon is a cool theme with pleasant colors. The buttons light up when you pass over them, and change color or change picture when you click on them. The menu items all have icons, and a number of extensions are supported with icons.

Right-click to get drop-down history lists for Back/Forward buttons.

If the theme looks fuzzy, change "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" from -1.0 to 1.0 in about:config.

I recommend using the Tabs on Bottom (Australis) extension to restore tabs on the bottom. I also recommend the Vertical Toolbars, the Extended Copy Menu (Fix Version) and the Toolbar Buttons extensions. This theme is not compatible with the Classic Theme Restorer extension.

To get a more human-sized font, use the Theme Font & Size Changer extension. It makes life so much easier!

Related themes include Aeon Small (same as Aeon; uses the smaller icon set), Aeon Clouds, Aeon Colors, Aeon Big, and Aeon Jumbo. You might also enjoy one of the Scribblies themes, and Halloween.

Developer’s Comments

Aeon is based on SphereGnome, which was created by Ken Lynch back in the days when Firefox was called Phoenix. He goes by the handle of lynchknot.------Related themes:------Aeon Clouds - cloud background and muted menus; no stripes in the background. If Aeon is too bright for you, try this one.------Aeon Colors - more colors.------Aeon Big - bigger.------Aeon Jumbo - a lot bigger.------Aeon Small - a more compact theme------Aeon provides icons for almost all of the browser's own toolbar and context menu items. It also provides toolbar, menu and context menu icons for a number of extensions.------The menu icons are not compatible with the Cute menus extension.------For best results, move your searchbar up to the top menu bar.------NOTE: to get a DROPDOWN list of visited websites, RIGHT-CLICK on the Forward or Back arrows.------If you have any problems with this theme, email me directly.
